*10* Total DOMINATION on UNDER Bucks/Knicks.

The New York Knicks had a three-game winning streak come to an end Friday but can still be proud of their performance in a 100-99 loss at San Antonio. The team have played solid defense of late, and I expect a low-scoring contest when they host the Milwaukee Bucks Sunday.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Slow Tempo - Both the Bucks and the Knicks rank near the bottom of the league with 96.3 and 96.2 possessions per game respectively. Expect both sides to take care of the ball to try and set up easy shots tonight.

2. Previous Meetings - Two of the previous three meetings this season have gone under today's set total and the under is 7-2 in the last nine head-to-head meetings at MSG.

3. X-Factor - Khris Middleton has averaged 25.7 points in his last six games but he's averaged just 10.3 points on 26.5% shooting in three meetings with the Knicks this season.

Selection: This is a play on MIL@NYK to go UNDER the total (10*)
